A big shoutout to NT Rugby Union for hosting the competition side of Master’s this year allowing our committee to focus on The Long Lunch.

A fantastic day had by all, we hope everyone isn’t feeling too sore after the weekend.

A huge shoutout to everyone who joined us for today’s Long Lunch!

It was fantastic to have special guests Tom Lawton and Micky D along for the day, sharing plenty of laughs, stories and a few memories from the good old rugby days.

And three cheers for our brilliant MC Sarah from Mix 104.9 and our event co-ordinator Danielle. We couldn’t do it without you, thank you for keeping the day rolling and the laughs coming.

There’s nothing better than getting the rugby community together catching up with old mates, telling a few questionable stories and remembering why we love this game so much.

Now it’s time to swap the lunch tables for the rugby field… we can’t wait to see everyone at Rugby Park tomorrow for the Darwin Masters 10s!

We’re very excited to welcome comedian, adventurer and all-round character Mickey D to the Ostojic Group Long Lunch from 12pm this Friday, 18 September.

Mickey D has been making audiences laugh around Australia and across the globe for more than two decades, performing everywhere from the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival to Edinburgh, Europe, the US and beyond. Known for his quick wit, huge energy and ability to work a room, he’s definitely not one to quietly sit in the corner.

If you’re joining us Friday, keep an eye out for Mickey we have a feeling he’ll fit into a rugby long lunch very nicely.
